Flex games have to be announced 12 days before the matchup to allow for the schedule change. The only exception to this is the final week, where only 6 days notice is required. To flex us in for the Bears game, they would have to announce it by November 20th (next Tuesday)...well before we play Miami, so that game means nothing in the flexing of the schedules.

I do think that there's a good chance that our game against the Niners gets flexed. The only real competition that week is the Cowboys/Saints, and that would require them to both make a little run here...or the other might be the Vikings and the Texans...the Texans may be looking at a bye and the Vikings could (although I personally doubt it) be looking at a playoff spot as well.

It's going to be very tough. I don't see how you guys all seem to be so confident about an away game against one of the hottest teams in the league. I'm looking forward to it no doubt, but let's be careful of our expectations.

I'm actually flying out to Chicago to attend that game. One of our vendors at my work that is based out of Chicago is treating me to it. I'm going in full Seahawks gear head to toe. Would love to see a repeat of the previous 2 years.

I hate the fact that them and Pittsburgh get way with having the shittiest fields in all of football. The Bears rely on that mudpit to slow opposing pass rushes. A few times in that game, I would trot out a 4 DL front of Branch, Bryant, Jones and Mebane just to match their slog game. With the goal of making Cutler a part of that mudstain.

With the schedule the bears have had, Seattle would be 8-1 or 9-0. The bears have been feasting on the worst teams in the NFL this year. The only team with a winning record that they have beaten is the Colts, and that was Luck's first NFL start. The other teams with winning records that they have played beat them. Seattle should win that game.
